Wired: The Most Depressing Scenes From Tokyo Game Show
- Thread starter Poetic.Injustice
- Start date
I don't think I will. I've already put a good 25 hours in and have so much more of the game to do. It may slow down a bit but there's no doubt it's a great game. Dishonored's problems were apparent to me by the 4th real mission and then the quality of the 2nd of the half dropped significantly once they all started becoming more linear levels.
What is this obsession with Nomura, as if he hand develops all his games.
KH3 has its own team, separate from XV. The KH team is now the Osaka team (BBS).
Damn every photo..that is really lonely far and beyond.
This is the kind of story all the 8-4 guys were calling out on twitter. Apparently, a lot of people were taking some incredibly misleading photos in order to make their "TGS is dying" stories. Most of these are from the second, never well attended, business day. The first business day and public days were pretty packed from all accounts.
So, yeah, don't take those photos at face value.

where is the nintendo stand there ?
i did read on hear a week or so ago a article that someone had posted & it was on about the Japanese publishers & developers are terrified by the costs of making games for the next-gen consoles, i wonder if this has anything to do with it, also what are the figures for gaming on phones in Japan i did see on the Gadget Show (a tech show we have here in the UK) & they went to Japan & the people there were crazy for the latest phone & they have very fast internet connections there on their phones, i wonder if mobile gaming is taking over, with all the travelling etc they do they play on the go instead of sitting at home playing.

Nintendo doesn't go to TGS.
Nobody said Nomura hand develops his games, but he's the director of Kingdom Hearts 3. Him being occupied by another game which isn't close to release is another sign we're not getting KH3 any time soon.
Even if his role is minimal, the fact that KH3 is nothing more than a name right now is reason enough to not consider it a factor in Square's profits in the near future.

Not they don't. It isn't the most popular genre, but it isn't 'hated'.

This is such a joke.
Sony, Capcom, Sega, Microsoft, Namco Bandai all had HUGE booths with tons of demo stations, which were mostly slammed the entire time even on the business days (which each had a record 30000+ people. The public days each had well over 100000 people). Sony alone literally had well into the hundreds, and it wouldn't surprise me if the others did as well. This isn't even getting to Gung Ho, Arc System Works, Square Enix etcetc.
The game has changed, but TGS is generating more hype than ever among the media and public Iin Japan. Funny how something dying is managing to set attendance records every year.

Damn TGS fell off, its pretty much the GREE show now. Even the Japanese big dogs see the writing on the wall; globalization has kicked their ass this past gen and it may be even worse this gen.

It got even worse than that actually
Ouch. That's just heartbreaking.

Let's hope the Japan indie scene kicks into life next gen.
I didn't know that, it seems Nintendo don't go anywhere now, the only people that they are interested in are people with 3DS's that receive the directs, talk about looking inward.
I think it looking bad, i know everyone seems to be gunning for the PS4 this coming gen & i myself am seriously considering one, i have not had as much fun with my PS3 than i have with my X360, but i dunno actually because MS are really throwing money about & buying up content, they have the CoD stuff tied up early for example & with Sony charging for PSN the playing field is more level than before, Japan is a big market for games no doubting that, but the the USA, Europe, South America, Russia are bigger if not in their own individual right, what Nintendo is doing is not helping either, a game that you would say was made for Japanese gamers W101 has sold tiny numbers & the WiiU is not selling either, how many times does Resi have to be re-invented & re-released, the same for MGS, you could even say the same for Mario & Zelda, it is just the same 'stuff' over & over again in a different box, you can say the same about CoD but at least the games do evolve & ok you are still running about shooting but the scenery is different, NSMBU was just the same as Mario on the NES.

It would do better if they bother releasing them more on the overseas market. The current Kickstarters/IndieGo crowdfunding is giving me hopes though. Hope it becomes more of a trend.
it's all Nintendo fault.

I truly think the only thing that will get Japan back into traditional/console game would be something like the Oculus Rift or Sony's VR head set.

Some selective bs going on here. TGS looked packed everywhere. Obviously no one will attend a booth with no games or a hall with no booths.
Its amazing how far they are going to try and spin it though. Truly remarkable and pathetic.

FFXV and MGSV... Both games are running on PC hardware, but there's no announcement for them yet. I wonder if it's because they don't want to take any steam away from consoles just yet.
Nevermind the fact that the majority of people who attended considered this TGS below mediocre. You're also being selective with your picture. If you read the article you'll notice they said the only other booth bigger than GREE's was Sony's

Deep Down and Titanfall... 2 western focused games. Good job trying to make a point though.

Yep , gamers were there , just the market is different , Koei , Konami , Capcom are being surpased by new technologies , the userbase has moved to games in companies like Green.

No, thats the only pic I could find of the floor. Ask someone who went to how busy it was.
Glad someone spoke about this FUD.
They're still games that visitors were excited about. I don't see people downplaying the hugely positive reception Squeenix got at E3.

I wonder if Gamescom has anything to do with this. Although it's probably just a result of Japan's new mobile phone P2W overlords.
Why in 2 years? Why not now?
Uhm, most of those games were announced at that separate Sony conference not at TGS.

But who will save Atlus?
A company selling a ten year old game for full retail price and a company with a next gen flagship game that's free to play - yeah, I'm out.
OH FUCK, I had not realized Nintendo was just releasing the Wind Waker's original Gamecube version with no modifications whatsoever, and a game that only got worse with time as well. Nintendo's really going down the crapper, huh?
I have no defense for Capcom, though Deep Down still looks promising. I don't think the fact that it is F2P should have any effect on how fun it is or not, but to each his own.
This one got me. But, what's the problem with a declining population growth? We NEED less humans.
Does anyone have attendance numbers?
In 2015/2016 there will be topics all over the internet asking has the release date been announced for XV/KHIII yet.

i went on saturday, everywhere you went 2 hours waiting lines, even on Microsoft stand
I was surprised about KT stand, but most of their games were playable on Sony and Ms stands
S-E and NBGI also were crowded, GTAV had a 2 hours waiting lines or more
of course GREE is popular, 5 years ago people was playing with DS or PSP on trains, now everybody uses a smartphone, but GREE stand being the only one crowded is not true
This just has to be him hanging out after a event.

This again? Christ. Nomura is ALWAYS credited as a director of Kingdom Heart's games. That means nothing. The directing credits for KH3 are exactly the same as BBS and 3D, with Nomura and Yasue co-directing.
